easy shove, a big stack can have wider opening range and sometimes you will have fold equity...

All-in is OK in this situation, but I'd prefer big re-raise, smth like 180-200k, coz AQo is weak hand enough on preflop, even 32o wins 3 times of 8, u are underdog vs any pair, AQs and AK, if ur opp dont have this cards I think that he will fold, if not-see flop.

Okay, so let's assume I raise to 200k, leaving me with 164k chips left. The villain then puts me all in. Am I supposed to fold now?

Hard enough to say without pfr/vpip stat, but if ur opp is tight player you definetely must fold, 160k is still playable stack, if u call this situation u have like a 40% to win, dont think u would like to leave tournament 18th.

I think it was a good shove, if it were to increase 3bb (120k) would be 1/3 of his chips

Please don't do this Matthew, can't tell if he's trolling or what, but he's just so far wrong here it isn't funny....


Easiest shove in the world, if you think he will put it in with a much wider range by doing another move like a non-all in then fine, but don't fold, ever when you have put 50% of your stack in preflop.

Just to make it clear, going all in to his raise is the easiest knowing way to make money here. But making a non-all in and jamming flops/not folding flops is also another way to play it, but generally that play is better with cards like TT-AA as we can be way more ahead on alot more flops. We're fine with him just folding, so really the only move here is to just jam all in, unless you have a reallly good reason to choose another option (very rare)

Think this is a pretty easy shove. Only way it's not is if you can tell me what that particular players min raise means 100% of the time and it means a huge hand.

shove too, u are short stack with the protection of A and villain is big stack and open raise with a large range, probabily he fold high.

Easy Shove

No other move than to shove. The idea of just making some kind of standard raise is ludicrous.

At this point, play is simply either to shove or fold.

I prefer the former which you did.

Standard shove,considering yours and average stack size.
